Whole Birth Midwifery

I am a Certified Nurse Midwife attending homebirth in Tucson Az. I offer
complete homebirth services including prenatal, birth, postpartum, and
newborn care, laboratory testing, nutritional education, and natural
childbirth classes. I also offer complete well women care, birth control
(all methods), infection checks, and STI screening. I began my journey in
midwifery as a Direct Entry Midwife in California in 1979 where I completed
a 3 year apprenticeship and attended homebirth for over 10 years. I then
became a Licensed Midwife in New Mexico where I attended homebirth for over
6 years. I graduated in 1994 with my RN and then in 1995 with my CNM.
I was blessed to do my internship with the Native American Community at
Santa Fe Indian Hospital where I learned new skills and broadened my scope of
practice to include primary healthcare for woman of all ages. Although I
have a diverse background I still remain dedicated to homebirth and to the
women and their families who have the right to safe, supportive, and
personalized health care for not only their child's birth but also for all
their ongoing healthcare needs. I offer integrative care combining
traditional midwifery with a blend of holistic health and allopathic
medicine to provide my clients with full scope Nurse Midwifery Care.http://www.byregion.net/cgibin/users/profiles.pl?subdomain=wholebirthmidwiferyhttp://www.tucsonnursemidwives.org/

I have over 30 years experience in the use of medicinal herbs, homeopathy, cranial sacral, and moxa treatments. I try when ever possible to use holistic remedies to treat most problems that occur during a low risk pregnancy. However, if the need should arise that a medication is needed as a CNM I am able and comfortable using allopathic medicine. For herbal remedies I use on a regular basis I have created medicinal herbal blends and salves for use during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and with women's health.
